Paris
Closed
Sale Total EUR 820,512

25 MAR – 6 APR 2022

Sale Overview

Christie’s will have the privilege of presenting Zizi Jeanmaire & Roland Petit Collection during an exclusively online sale from 25 March to 6 April 2022. Although the panache and creativity that epitomize the unforgettable performer of “Mon truc en plumes” and Roland Petit are remembered by all, their collection has only been seen on rare occasions.

This sale, a major event for ballet and dance lovers, that will pay a vibrant tribute to the couple as well as the Parisian avant-garde, will include works by Bernard Buffet, Jean Cocteau, Paul Delvaux, Leonor Fini as well as Yves Saint Laurent.

Christie’s a l’honneur de présenter lors d’une vente aux enchères exclusivement en ligne du 25 mars au 6 avril 2022 un ensemble d’œuvres issues de la collection de Zizi Jeanmaire et Roland Petit.

Si le panache et la poésie qui caractérisent si bien l’univers créatif de ces deux monstres sacrés de la scène sont bien connus, cette vente sera l’occasion de découvrir un patrimoine resté largement inconnu du public et un événement incontournable pour tous les amoureux du ballet et de la danse. Dans un vibrant hommage à l’amitié qui unit le couple à l’avant-garde parisienne, seront présentées des œuvres de Bernard Buffet, Jean Cocteau, Paul Delvaux, Leonor Fini ou encore Yves Saint Laurent.
